How to Turn off location on iphone

Both Android and iPhone phones store your location using data from data services, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. As we spend so much time on our phones, our location is stored on the device. This information is helpful since it can track your device if it is stolen. However, because the data is collected by third-party app stores, it is sometimes used, creating privacy concerns. As a result, the majority of people are satisfied with the positive aspects of it. So there’s good news in that case! However, to detect malicious apps from accessing your location, you can tighten the privacy options.

 How to Turn off location on iPhone

Some apps, such as Daraz, Amazon, and others, require location data, while others, such as maps, Careem, Uber, and others, do not. However, such apps may sometimes request information for which sharing data is not required. In this case, the app’s location service can be stopped.

• Go to your device’s settings.
• Select “Privacy” > “Location Services” from the drop-down menu.
• If you don’t wish to turn off all location services, “Location Services” is always turned on.
• Now scroll down to see which apps have location data turned on. You will see a list of permission options, such as “Never,” “When Shared,” and “While Using.” When you select “When Shared,” the app will notify you before sharing your location the following time. “While Using” refers to when you are actually using that app; but, it does not mean that the apps should not share your data with other apps.
• Click on the app list to change a single app’s access to your location data.

The options for allowing location sharing for specific apps were given above. Click “System Services” at the bottom of the “Location Services” screen for other ways to limit location access. You will be taken to a new window where you may switch or remove location access for various items, including WiFi, time zone, emergency calls, and Apple News and App Store ads.

This isn’t the end of the story. Small arrows can be found on the left side of several toggles. For example, the hollow indicator that the apps may be using your location data, while the purple arrow shows that the app has just used your location, and the grey arrow indicates that it has used your site in the last 24 hours.

To see if a specific app is collecting location data from your devices, go to the “system service” page at the bottom and turn on the “Status Bar Icon” toggle. Then, wherever the phone is receiving the location, an arrow will show at the top of the screen.

• Open the Settings menu.
• Select “Privacy” > “Location Services” from the drop-down menu.
• Turn off the “Location Services” switch.

You will receive a notification at this point informing you that because you have stopped the switch service for all apps, it will re-enable itself when you use “Find My iPhone” to report your phone missing. It’s now up to you to choose how to turn it on or off.

How to share my location

So, if you are going somewhere alone in a ride-hailing service, we want to notify our family members to share the position in real-time, especially in Pakistan. You will need iOS 13 or later to use the Find My app to share your location with family and friends in this case.

• “Settings” should be open.
• Make sure “Location Services” is turned on under “Privacy.”
• Return to the original “Settings” menu and select your name from the drop-down menu at the top.
• Choose “Find My.”
• Make sure “Share My Location” is turned on.
• Go to the Find My app after that. If you’re using the app for the first time, it will ask if you want it to access your location. “Allow While Using App,” “Allow Once,” or “Don’t Allow” are the choices.
• You will see a screen stating that “Find My” can be used with an AirTag or AirPods and that watchOS apps are also available.

• Select “People” at the bottom of the screen on the map screen that opens.
• To begin sharing your location, click the “Start Sharing Location” button.
• Fill in your friend’s or family member’s phone number or name in the “To:” field.
• A pop-up will show if the person you choose has a phone number that isn’t associated with an iPhone. (However, you can continue to disclose your location.)
• Select “Share for One Hour,” “Share Until End of Day,” or “Share Indefinitely” after clicking. “Send”
